Moneybags Delaney made the announcement today.
Eh I can deal with it here and there. If this was a regular thing each year I’d probably hate it but once every few years is fine.
after the HS season, this is totally fine IMO. Might add some spice to an otherwise boring opponent.
Play off time isn't it?
Between Week 3/Sept 15 and Week 11/Nov 10 there will be exactly 1 Saturday game at TCF Bank Stadium (Oct 6 vs Iowa).
It is, for the large schools in the metro. If all things are equal, this would fall the week after MEA next year, which means that would be first round games for 6A. However, 9-Man through 5A would all play their quarterfinal games on Tuesday the 23rd, and then on Saturday the 26th, so in one way, we're moving off of playoff games for many schools.
Probably as good as this can fall for a Friday night, to be honest.
Least we're not playing On MAC Wednesday
Has Indiana even played at TCF Bank Stadium yet?

Nope. They played and lost to the Gophers 16-7 at the Dome in 2008. Then in 2013 Gophers beat them out in Bloomington 42-39.
That's it in the last nine years.

As of right now, according to the MSHSL, there are playoff games scheduled for that Friday - the Class 6A playoffs. If you don't follow MN HS football, that is the largest class for 11-man - the big metro area schools like Eden Prairie and Wayzata.
Section 2 is right about the smaller classes - they go Tuesday - Saturday - Friday for the Section playoffs. But the 6A schools have a different format for their playoffs, so they would be scheduled to play on that Friday. the MSHSL said they would consider possibly moving games to Thursday or Saturday, but said it's possible some games would remain on Friday. It's a year away, so things could change. All I know is that if they have Eden Prairie and the Gophers playing on the same night, Sid will go bonkers.
